Hex Nuts

Class 8 nuts are ideal for securing a variety of machinery and equipment. To prevent damaging the threads while installing, ensure that your screw possesses a similar strength rating.

Class 10 nuts are approximately 25% more robust than medium-strength steel nuts. They are frequently employed to secure parts in valves, pumps, motors, and various high-stress situations. To prevent stripping the threads during installation, ensure your screw has a similar strength rating.

Class 12 nuts possess a strength that is approximately 20% greater than that of high-strength steel nuts. They have sufficient strength to hold parts in heavy equipment like bulldozers and excavators. To prevent thread stripping during installation, ensure that your screw has a similar strength rating.

Class 6 or lower, these nuts have approximately half the strength of medium-strength nuts. They are ideal for light-duty fastening tasks, such as securing access panels. Pair them with screws of a comparable strength rating to prevent thread stripping during installation.

Designed for damp and outdoor settings, these nuts are resistant to rust. Nevertheless, they are not capable of withstanding the severe chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

These nuts are better than 304 stainless steel since they won't deteriorate in the presence of most chemicals, sea water, or severe weather. 

Commonly employed in robotics, automation, and other applications with weight restrictions, 6061 aluminum nuts are one-third the weight of steel. Although they are not as robust, they are a rust-resistant substitute for stainless steel. 

Grade 2 Titanium: Lightweight like aluminum and as corrosion-resistant as 316 stainless steel, these nuts combine the greatest qualities of both materials. Compared to other typical titanium grades like Grades 5 and 9, Grade 2 titanium is much more corrosion resistant because it is 99% pure. Because they can withstand severe chemicals and strong acids, these nuts are perfect for use in chemical processing and water treatment plants. 

400 Nickel—An affordable substitute for titanium, 400 nickel is also referred to as Monel. These nuts can withstand strong acids and salt water just as well as rusting. They are frequently used to secure gauges and other parts on valves, pumps, and shafts because they are stronger than C276 nickel nuts. 

Of all the metal nuts we sell, C276 Nickel—also referred to as Hastelloy—has the best chemical resistance. Even when subjected to the toughest chemicals, including acids and sulfides, they do not pit or break. They lack the strength of 400 nickel nuts, though. 

Silicon BronzeThese nuts are a suitable option for maritime areas because they are more resistant to salt water than brass. In addition, they are more resilient to wear and abrasion and stronger than brass. Select them for situations where adjacent components might rub against the nut, such as machinery with moving parts. 

Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are frequently used to fasten electrical components inside enclosures, including mounting brackets and circuit board assemblies. They won't harm other fastening elements because they are softer than most metals. 

The most popular plastic nuts, nylon 6/6, work well for a variety of fastening applications. They thread on effortlessly and withstand normal wear and tear since they are abrasion-resistant and slippery. These nuts work best in dry conditions since moisture causes nylon to swell and weaken. 

These nuts are stronger than nylon 6/6 because of glass fibers that are included into the fabric. Additionally, they are resilient to greater temperatures. 

These nuts don't swell or weaken when exposed to moisture, making them the ideal material for moist and humid conditions. Compared to nylon nuts, they are also more resilient to deterioration and abrasion. 

These plastic nuts are our most impact-resistant; they won't break or dent even after being bumped and vibrated. Additionally, they are obviously less evident in your assembly. 

In chemical processing lines, connect sensors, fittings, and other equipment. When exposed to strong acids, alkalis, or alcohols, these nuts will not deteriorate. 

These are affordable, versatile, and resistant to a variety of solvents, including sulfuric acid, degreasers, and petroleum. They will deteriorate if exposed to nitric acid, lacquer solvents, or chlorine since they are not as chemically resistant as PTFE nuts. 

These plastic nuts are the most chemically resistant ones we have, withstanding the most caustic acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners. Unlike other plastics, they maintain their strength and form at higher temperatures. 

These provide the highest strength of all our plastic nuts to withstand high-stress applications, making them a close substitute for metal nuts. They are an excellent option for attaching parts on circuit boards and other electrical applications since they won't break down when subjected to extreme heat. However, if they are exposed to harsh shocks and vibrations, they may break or dent because they are not highly impact resistant. 

These nuts, which are of the greatest purity we provide, won't introduce impurities into your production line that could harm important parts. They are frequently utilized in food and beverage applications, as well as clean rooms for the production of pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. PVDF is similar to Solef and Kynar. 

Safe parts for use in kilns, industrial furnaces, and other high-temperature settings. Even when heated to 3000° F, these nuts will not melt, seize, or break. Hard bumps and vibrations can cause ceramic nuts to shatter or damage. 

These non-metal hex nuts have the best strength-to-weight ratio of any of our products, so they can withstand high-stress situations without making your assembly heavier. They are resistant to oil, salt water, acids, and solvents. 

more resilient to greater temperatures and stronger than 316 stainless steel. While these nuts may withstand corrosion from chemicals like bleach and chlorine, they are not as resistant to sea water as 316 stainless steel. 

These are our most corrosion-resistant stainless steel nuts, and they work well in almost any setting. When exposed to severe substances like sulfuric acid and salt water, they won't pit or weaken. Carpenter 20 is another name for it.
